Here's an alternative solution: The Macintosh SE-30. With some inexpensive shareware midi sequencing software and a serial to midi converter, you can do a lot with one of these. The great thing is that they're practically free. (Some one gave me mine, but I've seen them go for $5-10 dollars) For MIDI apps, you really don't need anymore, and they look great on stage. Very Kraftwerk.
